When my skin’s happy, I am happy! One of the main reasons why I’m really bubbly and happy-go-lucky lately is because of my skin. I’ve been feeling really confident in my skin for the past 2-3 months or so because it has drastically improved. I kid you not; I have been struggling with acne issues since I was a teenager, about 14 years old or so, to the extent that I needed to be on Oratane. The large, inflamed, cystic acne may have stop visiting me but I still get occasional break outs every month.

When I thought all hope was lost, I found a combination of different skincare products that work for me. If you’ve been following paradeoflove.com, you’ll know that one of the culprits for my clear complexion is the Allies of Skin Glow Gifter Set which contains the Molecular Saviour Mist and the Bright Future Overnight Facial.

Lately it’s been looking all rosy on my skincare shelf in my boyfriend’s room. As I’m always staying over at his place on weekends, I have been leaving bits and pieces of me (my clothes, skincare, makeup) at his place and the one set of skincare I rely on during the weekends is the LANEIGE Fresh Calming Line.

LANEIGE has always been one of my trusted Asian brands when it comes to skincare and makeup, from the Water Sleeping Mask to the BB Cushion Pore Control and recently, the new line of foundation and bases. I was so stoked when they decided to drop a whole line of skincare dedicated to restoring your skin’s natural balance with four very simple steps.

Formulated with natural litchi extract and deep-sea water, the LANEIGE Fresh Calming Line seeks to empower your skin with the fundamentals – to soothe and moisturise. Let’s go back to the basics with uncomplicated steps to regain a healthy, rosy complexion. It’s time to unleash the sparkling beauty in you!

Whether you’ve been up all night prepping for that big presentation, or partying till dawn with your co-workers after a long day at work, we’ve all had mornings where we could use an extra shot of espresso, don’t we? With days where you need an extra caffeine boost to look refreshed, Origins has got you covered.

Get instantly energised with a skin finisher powered by coffee so much so that no one knows you hit the snooze button 20 times in the morning!

Kiehl’s has been a skincare brand that I heavily rely on since my university days. It has always been a brand with products that not only promise efficacy but also quality. Since 1851, Kiehl’s has sourced the world in search for the finest and most efficacious natural ingredients to bring you top-notch skincare that simply works.

One of the first few products that Kiehl’s introduced was the Calendula Herbal Extract Toner formulated with hand-picked Calendula petals, which instantly became a customer favourite for its soothing and refreshing properties. Today, Kiehl’s chemists continue to harness the soothing benefits of the Calendula flower with a new addition to the Calendula family – Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Masque.

A gentle skin remedy, the Calendula Masque was developed to refresh, revitalise and hydrate all skin types, in just 5 minutes.

Every day, our skin is affected by aggressors such as pollution and fatigue which causes our skin to be dull and dehydrated. Just like how our body needs vitamins to be healthy, our skin needs to have minerals to strengthen itself and fight against skin stressors. For many years now, my skin has been plagued with hydration issues and I’m all for discovering new skincare products to help my skin stay moisturised and healthy.
